14. Through the Mist

In Scottish folklore mist swirls in the liminal space between this world and the parallel Otherworld, where fairies, spirits, and monsters exist just beyond our boundaries of perception. But when the mist descends, for better or worse, we humans can pass through the veil and into the otherworld.

In this episode Jenny tells two eerie tales of those who passed through the mist, and what they found on the other side...

The first is called ‘Baking in Creag Hàstain’ and comes from Balemore on the island of North Uist.

The second is called ‘The Blue Cap’ and comes from Kintyre.

From The Devil’s Pulpit and The Whangie north of Glasgow to out past Arbroath where the Devil’s head and eyes haunt the ragged coastline, this is a journey of terrifying tales, and not quite so terrifying geology!
